There is so much info on here. If you read, browse through the relevant boards you will almost certainly find an answer to your questions and a loads of other useful stuff (and some not so useful) you probably didnt know before

Hell yeah! Loving the ones of yours I am using atm. (the black and grey ones) They are just awesome. Give really good grip and hardly wear at all.

Post by: Bbmthbloke on June 10, 2008, 08:07:45 PM: OK Joe, there r no mods to improve performance, that is ability ann advice and coaching and all that stuff.

The mods are basically to strtch out the life span of your kit.

So taping your springs ( go find links) cos if u damage a spring it may fail prmaturly

Hooves tyre sox/hoofies/trainers take your px and go find link.

Ok hands up 4 an intrest re waering trainers. Go 4 kiddie hi top converse --or simila cheaper. Adult trainers loose u bounce un fel horrible.

Kidie ones thinner sole so a more positive bounce --well thats wot ive found Yep Ive tested it and there are pix and prob a vid or 2 to show me on me kidie converse kidie size 11 btw but im sure tesco or asda do somat vvv simila

Post by: Spud on June 10, 2008, 08:18:22 PM: Seen your kiddie converse on PP. They look so cute and I imagine do work better..the adult ones cover more of the metal bit..that how hex cheats with getting up :p

And Joe...the tire socks toddy gave a link to are not the coloured (white,green,black,pink). I have not tried the ones shown in the links but the coloured ones are the best I have ever used. I totally recommend them. They give real good grip and are very hard wearing.
